-f, \--indexfile=*indexfile*
: use a different index filename instead of
- `~/.bup/bupindex`.
+ `$BUP_DIR/bupindex`.
-v, \--verbose
: increase verbosity (can be used more than once). With
over large ones (like virtual machine images) which
take longer. Then you can back up the large files
less frequently. Use a suffix like k, M, or G to
- specify multiples of 1024, 1024*1024, 1024*1024*1024
+ specify multiples of 1024, 1024\*1024, 1024\*1024\*1024
respectively.
\--bwlimit=*bytes/sec*
to the server. This is good for making your backups
not suck up all your network bandwidth. Use a suffix
like k, M, or G to specify multiples of 1024,
- 1024*1024, 1024*1024*1024 respectively.
+ 1024\*1024, 1024\*1024\*1024 respectively.

: strips the path that is given from all files and directories.
: strips the given path prefix *path-prefix* from all
files and directories.
- A directory */root/chroot/webserver* saved with "bup save -n
